Hello I am having problems with a visual basic screen dump program from agilent.It works great with gpib and when I open the bas file it explains how to make changes to this text to make it work with a lan connection- (GPIB0::18::INSTR ) original and wi

Try using "gpib7,18" instead of "inst0". The older instruments have an embedded SICL-LAN server that was configured differently than the current instruments. The default VISA address would have been "TCPIP0::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::gpib7,18::INSTR". Here is also a link to the Programming Manual for the E4406A that has a section on setting up the SICL-LAN server in Chapter 2.

Are you able to find the instrument using the LAN connection in either Keysight Connection Expert or NI MAX? If you cannot find the instrument in one of those tools (depending on which one you're using), the program will not be able to find it either.
